Scale Factors: Atlas of the U.S.
In this activity, students will use a map of the United States to set up proportions and solve problems dealing with scale factor. You will need to provide your own map. I just copied one from an atlas I had in my room. This is a fun and exciting way for students to see where scale factors and proportions can be used in the real world.

Experience

Teaching style
My style is primarily inquiry-based, with a focus on creating a student-centered environment. I utilize a variety of teaching styles throughout the school year, based on the content and needs of the students. Collaboration is a consistent strategy in my classes, as students work in groups to complete a number of tasks and projects.
